• Negotiate with opposing counsel and insurance representatives to pursue favorable resolutions for clients.

• Prepare thoroughly for trial proceedings, including witness coordination, exhibit review, and courtroom support as needed.

• Work closely with paralegals and other support professionals assigned to the litigation team to keep matters progressing efficiently.

• Use firm technology platforms, including case management and Microsoft-based tools, to maintain accurate files and communication.

• Partner with firm leadership on case evaluation, litigation planning, and advancement of plaintiff personal injury matters.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of litigation experience, with the majority of that experience focused on personal injury matters.
• Active attorney license in good standing.
• Prior second-chair trial experience in civil litigation.
• Demonstrated ability to draft motions, briefs, and other core litigation documents.
